Big Garden Bird Watch - first reminder

Just a quick reminder to all you UK readers that next weekend is the Big Garden Bird Watch

Link is here, make sure you get registered and get counting.

I have been out and fiilling all the nooks and crannies in my trees with a suet/fat/seed/mashed peanut/mashed sultana mix.

Already got a female Blackcap in as a result.

Will post my results next weekend after the count.

Hoping to hold on to recent visitors.
Sunflower hearts and Nyjer got up to 6 Goldfinches last weekend, 3 Brambling (1M & 2F -lucky chap!), a pair of Blackcaps, a pair of Siskins and a pair of Bulfinches amongst the usual garden mix. Fingers crossed for an improvement on last year but since it's dark when I top up feeders before work and dark when I currently get home, I'm hopeful each day in that there's little loose feed left on the tables each morning.
Ever hopeful Julian

Bio's

David Courtenay, a self taught wildlife and nature photographer, has been capturing images for over 30 years. He has had a passion for wildlife since early childhood and remembers being glued to the television whenever Survival, Wildlife on One and other natural history documentaries were shown. In the 2006 he swapped his established career for the life of a wildlife photographer, such a move demands a measure of uncompromising passion and commitment.

David has travelled extensively throughout Europe as well as spending more than 7 months in India working with local guides and trackers in search of Bengal Tiger, Asian One horned Rhino and Asian Elephant. He has also photographed Wildlife in Australia, Malaysia, Thailand, Sumatra, Africa, Canada and America. Working closely with Conservation companies he tries to raise funds to help Wildlife that has been put on the endangered list by poaching and habitation loss

Martin Dyer has had a passion for avian wildlife since childhood, particularly raptors. Photography was also another keen interest and it was with the specific availability and control of the whole process that digital offers that Martin was then able to combine the two in 2003. Based in the UK, Martin is a regular visitor to Scotland, specifically the Isle of Mull to watch the Eagles resident there. Other trips to Europe and around the UK are usually part of Martin’s agenda in a typical year.

However, as a firm believer on making the most of the local patch, Martin has spent a lot of time and hard work creating a wildlife garden which is reaping the rewards with many new species and varieties of wildlife. A keen member of a number of wildlife photographic groups, Martin is keen to expand his portfolio into other areas of wildlife, and has already established a wide portfolio of images of fungi.
